flowey is talking about what happens to characters who get dropped/whose players go on hiatus LOL

[friendlyflower]

... Sometimes people just... fall down. [Those two words carry more weight for him than it seems.] Sometimes they wake up, sometimes they don't. Dr. Denne in the clinic is looking into it.

There's no rhyme or reason behind it, so I guess that means it could happen to you or me at any moment! Ha ha! Isn't that just great? [There's no actual mirth behind these words. He's poorly disguising his own horror at the fact. How many of his friends have already fallen comatose? How many more will...?]

gotta love traumatizing characters via game mechanics (also 1/2)

[If Cedric were still human, Flowey would see the colour drain from his face. Not only has no one been able to get back home, but now they can also just lose consciousness, at any time?

His beak opens and closes many times as his throat suddenly feels dry.]

2/2

[cedricthegreat]

[And then, almost in a second, his eyes narrow in a deep glare.]

You're joking. You're making a terrible joke that's not even funny!

[friendlyflower]

[Flowey can't blame Cedric for not believing him after some of the shit he's said. Normally, he would mock him about clinging to comforting denial. Is reality REALLY that hard to accept?

(... He remembers himself waiting by Lusamine's bedside, knowing she was never going to wake up again.)]

... Believe whatever you want. [Unceremoniously, he drops the last seed into a hole and covers it with dirt.] I'm sure you can figure the truth out for yourself!

[cedricthegreat]

[There's a pit, deep down in Cedric's stomach, that tells him Flowey isn't lying, and the seriousness in that last statement only cements that. But admitting that out loud makes it too much a reality, and the Murkrow can't handle that just yet. Not to mention he can't show any further weakness to this flower... seed... thing.

So instead, he stubbornly covers that final seed with dirt and waters the mound with an aggressive tilt of the watering can.] I shall!

[He takes a quick glance around to confirm that it is, indeed, the last of their work and Flowey isn't tricking him into making a mistake - before turning sharply back.] Is that all then?

[friendlyflower]

Yup! That's all! Guess I'll be seeing you around... Cedric the Great.

[He watches Cedric leave, keeping that smile pasted on his face.]

/wrap!

[cedricthegreat]

Likewise.

[The "unfortunately" is presumed, as he abruptly flaps away, leaving Flowey to gather up the supplies like a jerk.]
